Cored Solder - not behaving
tooki:
That’s all true, but frankly, faaaar afield of the scope of this topic, and even outside of most general discussions of electronics solder for a beginner.
Ian.M:
However solid rosin flux that doesn't contain hygroscopic acid chloride activators isn't significantly affected by humidity. I've never had to cut back more than a inch or two of rosin core solder to get to good flux core, that did the job of flowing well without significant spitting, even on a few 40 year old reels of solder that hadn't been touched for over 20 years and were stored in an unheated outbuilding.

Or my 22 year old PhillipsECG 60/40 rosen core. Thankfully, I only have a couple of feet left.
